I just tried it with my canary! IT WORKED!! Thank you so much I'm so happy i can comunicate with him

[@MrMovieman174]

I've been doing the slow blink with my parrotlet like 15 times in a row. He loves me a lot

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Awesome! Sounds you've got a great bond :)

[@cl415161]

I'm so happy that I found this channel, thank you so much! Your videos are a blessing; we were surprised to understand how tamed our bird has gotten and how much he trusts us. So nice to be able to communicate with him and have that bond.

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

My pleasure! Sounds like you've been doing an excellent job :)

[@RavinkaMalinka]

Your voice, your style, your room decor, your goldfinch, your appearance...IT ALL GOES TOGETHER SO WELL and is so comforting and educational at the same time! I'm glad I have found this channel, thank you :)

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

What a lovely thing to say! Thank you and welcome to this little community - if there's anything I can help you with, feel free to just ask. :)

[@Ak-hz1kh]

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR SHARING WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED, i aquired two budgies out of no where, my sons uncle brought them . i have never been a bird owner, but i believe that if you haver a pet or anything that lives with you and is dependent on you that you are obligated to learn about them, as much as you can, and ive learned a decent amount, but it has taken weeks of non stop surfing and trying steps... the most helpful thing was imitating the beak grinding , it has been phenomenal advice.. thank you

[@glitchtrap8737]

Works a lot my budgie is not freaking out Edit: AAAA god I’ve been noticed!!!!! Actually that’s ok I’ve never been noticed before!

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Well done!

[@audlinebeena981]

[@universas1203]

It worked for my budgie and she blinked back so many times and sat there watching me then she did it again thanks.

[@mondraymondo]

For the first time ever my lovebird slow blinked at me back!! What an awesome feeling!! 😍

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Congratulations! Well done!

[@letrolltwo5625]

omg so much good advice from your videoes! always thought it was "off" how some have force tamed their bird by invading its space so many times it gets used to it etc, nice to see you show the better way instead

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

zerendipity You hit the nail on the head! And thank you for your kind words.

[@kaikoraxx2145]

I did the slow blink with my finches Flame and Miu and they both blinked back!

[@xxxmiss.andmr.potatoxxx4639]

I have to bird that isn’t fully tamed and when I did the slow blink they did it to I so happy

[@MinecraftJosey]

I saved a pigeon from drowning in my pool and I saved its life I fed it and let it sleep her name is flightless because she has trouble flying and i can hold her and pet her birds are fragile and sweet sometimes❤️

[@xenaxavakin4865]

Awesome, let us know how it goes! :)

[@xenaxavakin4865]

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Not at all, nothing makes me happier than to read when these videos help people and their birds! :D Sounds like you're on a good way to building rapport with your female zebra finch.

it is true i try this many time and it's work!!!!

[@masumabegum3863]

Really?

[@clantrippy1966]

Yo this works it's so cuteeee

[@Artist_Keena]

You have such a wonderful bird! I hope I can get a goldfinch companion too some day. (I also just noticed that birds move their entire socket to look around; not their eyeballs. o.o This slightly explains why owls move their entire heads to look around. Cool!)

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Thank you! Yes, you're quite right - birds generally move their heads to scan their environment, because their anatomy and field of vision renders this necessary. They do have "micromovements" of the eyeballs, too, it's just that due to the eyes being set at the sides of their head, this doesn't get them very far ;) This has quite the effect on their personality, too, as we've looked at here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpjNhGSCma55rJY That said, owls seem to be a special case - would be interesting to find out if they can move their eyeballs at all!

[@Artist_Keena]

Yes! I've watched that! ^-^ I'm so glad you made a video on that! I'm pretty good at reading animal body language and am self-aware of my actions thanks to many experiences I'm thankful for and of course, my pet bunny, who's also a prey animal. I've had some fun encounters with crows too. As an artist going into animation, it's very important for me to understand body language and natural instincts so that the characters and environments will be more accurate and appealing. This also helps me interact with pets my friends may have, and has been surprisingly useful for catching spiders and other bugs safely at school, college, and even work. I noticed that many times, people treat animals like they would a toy that's supposed to do something or respond to what you do by some default. (Not in a way that the animal is lesser or a play-thing. Just the way they try to predict its actions.) It's great to know basic ways to put yourself in an animal's position to get an idea of what they may be thinking/seeing, and you clearly know how! :) Random story: Years ago, there were 2 birds that fell down our house's drain pipe and got stuck there. As a kid/teen, I was naturally curious about animals you see around but never have the chance to see up close, so I wanted to catch what I heard scratching and chirping in there. There was a spot where the water spout could easily be separated from the part in the ground, so I got a pair of winter gloves (even though it was summer) and attempted to catch the bird, but it flew out the moment I opened the pipe. I thought it was just one until I heard more scratching in there and realized there was a second one. This time, I put my hand over the gap and then into the pipe to hold the bird before opening it completely. Of course it was scared, but I wanted to bond with it for an hour or two until my parents got home before letting it go since I saved its life. I put it in a large, transparent plastic storage container and dug up some earthworms. I had no idea how long it'd been trapped, so I figured the birds were hungry and I wanted to do a friendly gesture as thanks for putting up with me. I knew that a friend's cat didn't like being watched while eating, so I wanted to see how the bird would respond to my actions. I backed up, but it wasn't until I turned my head to the side as if pretending to look away that it hopped forward and accepted the first one. I think I fed it 5 worms. I brought it indoors and cracked open a few sunflower seeds for it, showed the bird to my parents and told them about how they were trapped, then when picked it up with the gloves to let it go, it almost didn't struggle and the alarm-chirps weren't alarm-calls this time. Outside, I gently placed it on the wood of the deck. Its mate was calling for it. The bird hopped away a little, hopped back toward me, stood looking at me for a good 10 seconds or so, then flew off toward its mate. I remember seeing a bird that landed on our backyard fence about a week later and looked directly at me while chirping, but it kept its distance. I stood still while looking at it, but it flew away and I never saw it again. That little moment felt nice though, like it recognized me and maybe wanted to say hello, but still had fear, the way it should feel toward humans as a wild bird. (Sorry I typed so much. ^.^')

[@Ilemaurice687]

Does it work for wild birds also?

[@natalieburke7560]

Does this work with zebra finches too?

[@rocketmaster7302]

Oh wow i my bird keeps doing this always to me i didnt understand it until i saw this

[@ahmedthebeast5926]

Wait so when the bird is in the cage and the bird is slow blinking and I do it can I touch it and take it out with a Pencil because I don't have a long stick

[@Blazemalta]

And there he is again :) Interesting video that is very important to know. Whether it is an outside cat you want to pat, or a dog that is not yours and you want to stroke, understanding their body language is the difference between getting a scratch or bite or not getting harmed at all. Like you mentioned there are plenty of ways to know how relaxed it is around you.. I note the way mine continues with his life when I am near him like you mentioned preening, eating and so on. But I forgot the slow blink one.. it could be that I took it for granted. Anyways... nice day and thanks for sharing.

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Happy to see you around! :D Hope you and your feathered friend are well. It sounds as if you're on a good path. :)

[@Blazemalta]

Yep, certainly on a good path. When in not near him he is quiet and barely moves, when I'm near him his activity level goes up and he plays, preens, eats and is up to something. He even has this unique whistle when im leaving the room.. maybe its a "dont go" or something.. even my wife notes it. He still flies around and goes in and out of his cage 2 or 3 times a week when I have a lot of time. He's a sweet little fellow. He has got around 85-90% of adult plumage now. I will do some videos to show you in the coming days.... :)

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

That sounds amazing! Really looking forward to the videos :) I'd be curious about the unique whistle, too. Leporello does a pitiable "tsee-dee" in a falling minor 3rd when I leave and an angry "whit-whewie!" when I'm gone. I wonder what Kal says? There was a British study a few years ago that found that birds of the same species actually have different dialects, depending on their region of origin.

yeppy actually my goldfinch does not fly into the window anymore hurray

[@samirchabanechaouche7592]

Hi, I hope you are doing well, when I get close to my bird doesn't move from his initial position and yes he blink to me, first I thought he is ill but now with your video is very big relief to me, I will blindly him back next time. Thanks a lot.

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Hi there, well ill birds blink, too! If your bird sits around puffed up or doesn't move about in his cage, he may be sick indeed. (How to tell even if you're not home all day: if the droppings are in one spot as opposed to all over the cage, he hasn't been moving and might be ill.) If he starts sleeping during the day or worse, puts his beak under his wing, please take him to a vet immediately! Thanks for watching and hope your little friend is well.

[@samirchabanechaouche7592]

Leporello the Goldfinch - Birdtaming Tips & Tricks hi thank you for the advise but my bird is not doing all of this, just sometimes during the day like to rest little bit, but then move as usual, I feed them as it should variety of seeds, egg food and veg.

[@mdmahir2629]

Awesome, well done! :)

[@Four-of-Six]

Girl looks like a Disney princess......

[@FraAnkanCHT]

Does this way works with a new one (new catch),because I bought a new one and he is really fear when I am beside him, please help))

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

With a new bird you better start here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mojIoHSpd8mCfNE Also I don't recommend getting wild-caught goldfinches. They don't adapt well to being in a cage and suffer physically as well as psychologically, get ill quickly and never become as tame. On the other hand, if you buy a cage-bred goldfinch, the birds won't have known anything other than captivity, so they tend to be both much, much easier to keep healthy (because their muscles and daylight cycles are different from wild birds) as well as to tame. If you can, I'd go back to the breeder and swap the wild catch for a bred goldfinch. Some less reputable breeders will offer wild-caught goldfinches because it is easier to catch one than to breed one, but this is a bad deal for both you and the caught bird. Good luck.

[@faisalmuhtaseb6017]

I have been slow blinking with my bird but he keeps flying away from me. I don’t know what to do

[@maldino2917]

Is a goldfinch close to a zebra finch? I mean... are your tips also useful for zebra finches

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

As said in the video, these tips work for all birds. In fact, this particular method works for most animals, even mammals.

[@wonderfulworldgoing]

Are birds in cages sufficiently content ? More canaries in cages hanging outside neighbors windows. So was wondering. It seems quite dreadful to me ...

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

You're right to be concerned! All birds, including canaries, need at least (!) 4 hours of free flight every single day. Not letting them fly free leads to muscle atrophy and all sorts of mental and physical health issues.

[@kaiyan9606]

i slow blinked to my bird and they just stopped doing whatever they were doing and stared at me as if i was weird. what do i do

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Continue! They probably thought "Am I going crazy or is that human speaking my language?!"

[@youcefyounes630]

try with goldfinch souvage

[@kamrunnasrin2782]

Does it work with other bird because I have a lovebird

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Yes, works with all birds

[@kamrunnasrin2782]

Thanks for the information .

[@ahmedmhirsi4053]

Thanks for the video, now my canary stay close at my eyes, start grinding his beak and following my steps

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Well done! Beak crunching is a sign of great comfort, too. Keep it up! :)

[@ahmedmhirsi4053]

Leporello the Goldfinch - Birdtaming Tips & Tricks Thanks! it takes much time and effort to tame, can i breed my canary with a female goldfinch by the way ?

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Sure! You'll find that over time, taming will become easier and faster - it's a learned skill like most things that gets better with practise, amazingly even new birds will trust you more easily over time. Breeding goldfinch mules is much easier with a male goldfinch and a female canary. The other way around, as you suggest, is possible, but is much more difficult to achieve because canaries are mellower than goldfinches.

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

PS, in case this isn't obvious, one of the most important differences between canaries and goldfinches is their respective dietary requirements. Goldfinches require a high quality goldfinch mix - they won't survive long on the simpler canary mix. Just thought I'd throw that out there!

[@ahmedmhirsi4053]

You saved my mosaic canary, i owe you one ☺

[@salmanal-habbas7504]

I have a blue budgie and I’m trying to play with him. But he keeps jumping, moving, biting on his food plate he doesn’t want me to touch him What should I do??

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Many birds do not like to be touched. Budgies can learn to trust you so that you can touch them, but it takes time. Give your bird space and wait for him to come to you. Don't force him, it will not work. He will approach you once he trusts you enough.

[@TahaKaneko]

you are beautiful and your smile is charming

[@frieddandruff]

I have a question. I have glasses and wonder if my bird can still see my eyes well. Should I take off my glasses?

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

That's a good question! I reckon your bird will still see your eyes but they'll definitely see them better if you take them off. Perhaps you can start establishing a bond with your bird without the glasses first and then put them back on when your bird responds consistently. Let us know how it goes :)

[@frieddandruff]

Leporello the Goldfinch - Birdtaming Tips & Tricks Thank you for responding. I will attempt this and see what happens.

[@ToxicVaccines_HivHoax]

🖒🖒❤

[@eatgreens]

I believe it works, but still I am pretty sure you slowed down the video showing "slow blink"

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Yes, I couldn't capture a video of him doing the actual slow blink in time for publishing, so I used footage of a regular blink. You'll recognise the slow blink when it happens with your birds, it's very distinct from regular blinking, more like a really slow (and often just half-) shutting of the eyelids.

My bird blink slowly

[@veronicaaaronthewhitezebra2729]

I have two white Zebra Finch that are so active and I got them yesterday and you inspired me to get them and start a channel for them I do have one for myself and one for them also can you check out my channel I will do videos like your but I will try cause I can't do them as good as you. Also I have a question my white Zebra Finch are really nice and they feel comfortable with me and they do the slow blink but sometimes the female doesn't let me play or feed the male and they are in the same cage and they love each other that the female doesn't let me take the male out of the cage and the male has to stay in the cage because of her and I couldn't deal with her at all what do I do?

[@veronicaaaronthewhitezebra2729]

Also they clean themselves a lot

what if he closes one eye and chirps?

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Could be mere tiredness, could be pain on the body half where your bird closes the eye. Watch closely.

[@Mad_Seng455]

Do you love parakeets

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

I do! They were one of the first birds I had has a kid. In fact, it was with a budgie that I discovered the method described in this video!

[@calissa5735]

I mean buggies buggies are playful birds

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

I agree, budgies act like miniature parrots because - well, they are :)

ارى خاتم في ساقه مما يعني أنه إنتاج القفص وعلى الأرجح تم إطعامه يدويا إن كان الأمر كذلك فلا عجب من سلوك الطائر فهو يرى انك والدته أو اقرب المقربين له حين يكمل غيار ريشه ولهذا فقط أردت القول إن هنالك فرق كبير بين طائر بري وطائر قفص في طريقة الترويض وفترة الاعتياد هذا من وجهة نظري الشخصية كمربي طيور محترف ولا تنعكس على الجميع طبعا

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

نعم ، لقد ولد ولم يصطاد من البرية. لكنه لم يأكل باليد. لا أعتقد أنه يجب اصطياد الطيور من البرية أو إطعامها يدويًا. من الممكن تمامًا أن تكون لديك علاقة جيدة مع طائر يتم تربيته بشكل طبيعي ويغذيه والديه.
